Think I'l back kate Appleby Shoes
Its all about form @viking. You need to analyse it a bit but I can give you a hint: check out AJ & Supasunde last 2 races against each other and make up your own mind. Also watch the replays if you have a chance and it should be clear enough.
Anyone heard anything RE Barter's Hill? Thought he was going to be back in December but haven't heard anything about him?
It was extremely slowly run so wouldn't be too difficult to still be bang there going to the last.Anyone fancy Bapaume NRNB at 33s for this?
Travelled a dream behind Supasundae and Apple's Jade before probably getting bit tired.
But in an open race, to travel like that at such an age, and look that good against open company, 33s e/w must be some bet?

Bapaume was travelling like the winner for most of the way, but found practically zero when let down in the straight. There's a chance he was wanting for fitness, but he went from lobbing to all-out very quickly, and looked very one-paced to me. He didn't get home, in my view, but that's not to say I would put you off taking a chance at 33's in what looks a pretty-open race.
For me, he'd be of more interest in the Coral Cup. The run in Leopardstown hasn't done much to help his handicap mark, but a strongly-run race against 'weaker' horses, might suit him best.
Yanworth to be entered in Stayers Hurdle - now there is a surprise NOT . It is looking like Uknowwhatimeanharry's time may have passed with advancing years and Tamworth's jumping was still unconvincing in the Dipper - I suspect Barry not too sure he will get round in the JLT on good ground run at a a fast pace.
I'd read very little into this. They are simply keeping options open.
